with any no heat complaint the first thing to check is going to be the coolant level. then make sure the vehicle is reaching proper operating temperature and that the thermostat is not stuck open or anything. from there check and see if both of the heater hoses are getting hot, those are the coolant hoses going into the firewall towards the passenger side of the vehicle. if one is hot and the other is cold that means you have a restricted heater core. you can try to backflush the heater core by taking a garden hose and connecting through the outlet side of the heater core and spraying out the inlet side. if that does not work you will have to replace the heater core. hope that helps.
Low coolant? Heater core airbound or plugged? Thermostat not closing fully? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap? Heater control cable not adjusted properly?

blend door failure is a common problem on 97+ Jeep Cherokee
One of the reasons a 2000 Jeep Cherokee heater would randomly blow cold air and then hot air and then cold might be that there is a problem with the hot/cold duct. The air or a vent might be inadvertently blowing periodically.

Bad thermostat
Thermostat and/or heater core may be defective
Most common problem is that the blend door is stuck or broken.
if the heater does not blow out warm air change the setting.
That sounds like a blend door problem.
Vent bypasses heater core when open,it is for outside air only...I know this because I just replaced heater core.
